XML is case-sensitive stuff, so I believe this transformation has nothing to do with identity transformation by definition.A few weeks ago I posted a message (below) asking how to do an identity transformation (without using <xsl:copy>) on instance documents that contain namespace declarations. The resounding response was "no way". [Thanks for your input!] Okay, after much testing and reading I have convinced myself that you are correct - <xsl:copy> must be used. It seems to me that this puts some serious limits on XSLT. Consider this simple problem: write a stylesheet which does an identity transformation, but where all element (local) names are converted to upper case. For example: The more general question is: if I use <xsl:copy> to copy over an inputCopy is just copy as is, you cannot use copy to make modifications. -- Oleg Tkachenko Multiconn International, Israel XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
